So the Whitehouse has denied having any information that could have prevented the attacks until today. Now that you have admitted knowing that bin Laden wanted to hi-jack airplanes your only defense is this: "The president did not receive information that bin Laden wanted to use airplanes for suicide bombers or use airplanes as missiles." Hmmmmm. So Ari, could you tell us again why President Bush stayed on an aircraft carrier at the G8 summit in Genoa last summer? ---- Does anyone at this board recall Putin warning Bush that they had information that bin Laden was planning on hijacking a plane and flying it into the building where all the world leaders were meeting? I have done an archive search and can't find the article at the moment but I know that I have a hard copy of this story in storage. Why can't they just tell the truth. A person can only be decieved so many times before they lose all faith in their leaders. Stop lieing to the people and the people will stop questioning your motives.

I don't need your advice, but thanks anyway. The link you provided didn't answer my questions which were all legitimate. We never imagined that an airplane would be used as a missile yet we had evidence that they had planned this just monthes before. Bin Laden was a known super terrorist who made remarks at his sons wedding that very soon America would be hit hard while he kept repeating "blood,blood,blood...destruction." Russian newspapers reported that something would happen that would be as damaging to our economy as a nuclear blast. All of these things are major red flags even if it was pre 9/11 intelligence. Come on~stop wasting my time.

T/S, I won't play this game with you. My time is to valuable to me. I'll even let you have the oppurtunity to have the last word and call my questions illegitimate and not based in fact. But don't expect me to get distracted enough to reply back. The point I made was the Prez stayed on board specifically because terrorists were planning to fly a plane into him... Now they say they had a heads up that the same terrorists were planning to hijack a plane~ Add 2 and 2 together and you have to ask why there wasn't a little more security at the airports.... This is a quote from Rice in the article you claim I didn't read: RICE: I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon, that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile.

I agree with Bill O's assessment. He feels that the information should have been released in a low-key way, and that security should have been increased. I don't think they knew exactly what was going to happen, but they should have done a bit more with what they did know...

WASHINGTON –– Exactly two years before the Sept. 11 attacks, a federal report warned the executive branch that Osama bin Laden's terrorists might hijack an airliner and dive bomb it into the Pentagon or other government building."Suicide bomber(s) belonging to al-Qaida's Martyrdom Battalion could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives (C-4 and semtex) into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), or the White House," the September 1999 report said.

Los Angeles Times September 27, 2001 WASHINGTON -- U.S. and Italian officials were warned in July that Islamic terrorists might attempt to kill President Bush and other leaders by crashing an airliner into the Genoa summit of industrialized nations, officials said Wednesday. Italian officials took the reports seriously enough to prompt extraordinary precautions during the July summit of the Group of 8 nations, including closing the airspace over Genoa and stationing antiaircraft guns at the city's airport. But a U.S. official said that American counter-terrorism experts considered the warning "unsubstantiated." In either case, the reports suggest that Western governments were aware that terrorists might one day use a hijacked airplane as a suicide weapon--as they did Sept. 11 in attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/05.20A.Genoa.Plot.htm I agree that it would be silly to pin anything on President Bush, that isn't my intentions.

Competency and the Shrub! This is what sleeping America deserves for a president, just like the last one, a LIAR! http://www.rense.com/general25/bsh.htm Let me see if I'm becoming a beter American via the 4TH ESTATE; I believe, (because I've been told by them)1. JFK was shot by a lone deranged commie gunman named Lee Harvey Oswald. Thank GOD for Jack Ruby. Period. 2. Marilyn Monroe filled her body (in an unusual place) with drugs and died as a result of self-inflicted overdose. Period. 3. Goerge Bush won the presidency fair and square. No cheating. Period. 4. Gary Condit had nothing to do with the disapearance of Chandra Levy. He said so. Period. 5. The skies above are not filled with CHEMTRAILS, only persistent, slowly disseminating, sunlight blocking, shadow creating normal aircraft engine exhaust condensation trails. If there was more to it, then surely the media would tell us all about it. Period. ____________________________________________ There's so much more they've told me, I have to work on this list some other time. I do feel better now, knowing that the truth can be found as easily as picking up the daily paper and reading it. After all, the media wouldn't lie to the peolpe. That would be wrong. We buy their papers and that's how they make a buck ain't it?
